Israel has arabs in its Parliament. How many arab nations can saying the same about haing Jews in theirs?

The point of your cut and paste 'intolerance in the ME' post is not to compare the relative intolerance of the various nations (what you are doing above), it is to point out the various intolerance shortcomings of the nations. You can list Israel's intolerance shortcomings if you want to be fair, or you can exclude them if the point is to bash the nations other than Israel. It's your choice, but if you leave Israel off of your cut and paste list, you might as well at least explain why.

FWIW I think Iran has some Jews in government, although Iran isn't terribly "Arab" (lucky them).

Biker, altho the Iranians are Persians and not Arabs, they do have Jews and Christians represented in their Parliament. (By the way, does anyone know if there are any Christian MPs in Israel?)
